    Another excellent video, Ben. I especially like that typically, you guys share new insights or research with a measure of modesty. What I mean to say is, too often paleo-themed YT channels, blogs, tweets, etc., will jump onto every new bit of research or hypothesis or theory and excitedly proclaim it as a new “truth” of discovery. Of course, such information may eventually come to be accepted to an assumed truth given the evidence, but science doesn’t deal with absolutes-it deals with falsification and probabilities. So, even though it might seem like a very insignificant detail, just using small words like “might,” “maybe”, “possibly”, “perhaps”, “could have”, etc., when speaking of the possible conclusions such evidence or research or hypothesis might lead to, helps to remind the viewer that not ever detail about every subject is always known for absolute certainty. (Hence the reason for continuous research!) That is simply the very nature of the historical sciences, and I much appreciate that you all generally are good about doing this. It’s important for the scientific process to be as transparent as possible for the general public, which helps to clear up a lot of misunderstandings as well as to explain exactly why and how we draw the many conclusions that we do. So, good job, lads! -A Paleontologist

    • @patreekotime4578
      @patreekotime4578 Год назад +1

      Yeah, there are WAYY too many "science" channels out there that are run by people who are scientifically illiterate. (And I include most science journalists in that desciption). But you dont have to have trained in the sciences to be scientifically literate... you just have to be able to review a paper and analyze the methodology. Is there a large enough sample size?if there is experimental data, how were the experiments constructed? was there a proper control? do the claims of the authors actually match the data they collected? how weak or strong is the hypothesis? are the results within the margin for error and therefore too weak to support the conclusion? Etc. And of course, like you said, the realization that science is a constantly unfolding revellation, not a dogmatic Truth... as well as the realization that nothing in science is taken as fact until the results have been independantly verified or reproduced. One paper doesnt change everything by itself.

    • @GojiGuru
      @GojiGuru Год назад +4

      @@patreekotime4578 yes, exactly. But these facts are either a) not known/understood by most people, even those interested in science, or b) such persons are too lazy/lacking the training in critical thinking to scrutinize the data. Just because something appears in a scientific paper doesn’t mean there is no misinformation in it or that the authors didn’t make any mistakes. That’s why science is a communal effort. No one person can know everything or change everything. Even so, many science enthusiasts (especially it seems those lovers of paleontology), sometimes act more like the “fans” of a movie/book/TV franchise, treating each new piece of data like a “leak” from the studio and speculating about the next film or season. The enthusiasm is appreciated, but we must approach science and fiction differently. How many YT videos are out there that called “What X dinosaur really sounded like” or “Allosaurus’ Sounds Reconstructed” or “new discovers turns the field on its head!” Besides the fact that no one can reconstruct the sound of an Allosaurus or that very rarely does a single discovery “rewrite history”, such videos give the false impression that we have everything figured out, that nothing is forever unknowable, or that science is a straightforward venture. Any reasonably modest person who has ever gone through proper scientific trainer or even just been very well read will tell you: the more you learn, the more you realize how little we actually know, how much more there must be to know, and that most everything-past, present, and future-will forever be unknowable. In other words, humility is essential for doing good science, and that goes for those reporting on the sciences as well.

Still, heck you guys might be getting close on that (its been close to 50 years since I did any straight-up geology, looks like you have been carrying on excellently). I would love to see you make a Siberian Traps series, I think that it has a lot to say. Once more, good job.

    This is a little thing but it always bugs me, the Great Dying was the worst _Phanerozoic_ mass extinction. We dont really know what mass extinctions occurred in previous eons, or how bad they were (we can obviously infer a pretty bad one with the Great Oxygenation, for example), but that's like 7/8th of the history of life.

    I suppose that the sheer size of the Siberian trappes contributed to the Permian-Triassic extinction. The igneous province was gigantic, considerably larger than the Deccan trappes, which was also quite large. The size of the trappes is probably proportional to the length of time of the volcanic activity, or at least that is a worthwhile conjecture.

    The asteroid that caused the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs is another case of a perfect storm of geology causing a mass extinction. Only in the very specific place the asteroid hit was it able to cause a mass extinction. It came down to literal seconds. If the asteroid had hit 10 seconds before or 10 seconds after, the rotation of the Earth would have meant that the asteroid wouldn't have hit that specific spot and while there would have been a local extinction, the rest of the planet would have been mostly unaffected.

    I wonder whether "The Great Dying" is a helpful name for this event. Every living thing dies. Death is a constant phenomenon. Extinction doesn't necessarily result from death, it results from a failure to reproduce. There need not be any "carnage" or excess mortality to cause extinction, especially over a million years. Almost negligible (in the moment) decreases in fertility can result in extinction, even as most members of a dwindling population lead long uneventful lives. It could have been "The Great Sterility".

    Was the eruption caused by a rising plume of hot magma or by a massive object from space punching a huge hole in the crust?

    Which forms lived through this and how did they survive?
    Also, showing Siberia as it exists today and the extent of the Large Igneous Provence sure is useful, but this video also needed to show the LIP as it related to Pangea, the shape the continents were in at the time of the "great dying".

      Ummm... Early pre-mammals, obviously. And many others that are just taken as "normal" today.

    When I was young, in the place where I lived after the construction of bridges, the river became shallow by 2/3 and bared its banks. We found hundreds of fossil dinosaur bones and even fought with them like swords like ancient knights.

      Not really, the Great Dieying was so bad that almost all life died, oceans acidify and the ozone layer almost disappeared. Plus we are actively trying to stop it.

      Impossible to say right now. We don't see an increase in global average temperature nearly this rapid anywhere in the geologic record, but we also don't know how long this one is going to last.

    All the Dying mostly.
    Kind of hard to walk around because of all the corpses.
